What are the specifications of the shroud in terms of length in metres and type of fabric?

The esteemed scholar Ibn Hajar al-Haytami clarified that the minimum obligatory shroud is a garment covering the awrah (private parts). For a man, this is the area between the navel and the knee, and for a woman, it is the entire body except for the face and hands. It is sunnah (definition) for a man to have three wraps covering the entire body, and for a woman and a hermaphrodite (khuntha), five garments: an izar (loincloth), a qamis (shirt), a khimar (head covering), and two wraps. White color and cotton are preferred, and it is recommended to fumigate the shroud three times with oud (incense).
